It did work out well for Burrow, but Burrow also had a much greater final year than Hall had.
If Hall would have put up something like double-digit sacks in his final season, I'd feel more confident to say he's developed well.
I don't consider 6.0 to be a crazy amount of sacks though.
His sack distribution this past season was:
0.5 against Rice
1.5 against Tulsa
2.0 against Tulane
0.5 against Memphis
0.5 against UConn
1.0 against UC

Tulane was 2-10, Rice is in CUSA and finished 4-8, and UConn is independent and went 1-11. All terrible teams.
Memphis finished .500 and Tulsa just barely above .500 with their bowl game win against Old Dominion.

Also, Burrow broke records in the SEC. Hall played in the AAC and only put up what he did last year. Big difference against most of the competition.
It was good, but not great.

There's definite reason for optimism, and he'd get a great opportunity to continue development in a limited rotational role if he was a Bengal, but I do think it's valid to have at least some level of worry that he might not become a great pass rusher in the NFL due to his limited production in college.
